  1. The jealousy is just seething out of folks. I don’t necessarily expect people who don’t follow UT football like we do to know the whole story. But it’s funny listening to all these pundits try and “figure” out why we are doing things the way we are. Fans of most teams would love to have a stable like we do and the ability to let a future star sit and learn in this way. Naturally they figure there is some controversy and some hidden story other than Arch was not going to play that much this year barring injury to both QE and Maalik and we had no intentions of burning his redshirt otherwise. That was the plan. I think Kirby Smart creeped him out stalking him on the sidelines of all those high school games and I think he’s smart enough to know Saban isn’t loyal to his QBs. He’s shown he will absolutely rip you out of the starting line up and kick you in the ass on your way into the portal. Arch came to learn under Sark. It’s not that hard to understand really. He chose Texas and because he comes from an established football family and has no financial worries and he’s a pretty darn good kid and all he has no intention of screwing us over for “greener” pastures. I think people just can’t or won’t wrap their heads around it’s There is nothing Machiavellian there. Maalik wasn’t healthy for his time here and had he beat out QE he’d have been the starter. With Arch in the wings it was always assumed MM would portal out especially if QE came back. If QE does come back I expect Sark to hold a competition for QB1. That’s how Sark rolls. And it’s how a HC should look at any position. You earn the spot. You aren’t automatically given the spot even if it’s a foregone conclusion.
  2. Hope the Lions can win and end their sort of skid they’ve been in since Turkey Day.
  3. Steelers need to do some soul searching. Football has evolved. It’s like watching Chicago fans still tout their defense from the 80’s. Evolve and adapt or get your ass beat.
  4. Last gasp 😱 of the Steelers. Indy even with Minshew is the better team. I don’t think anyone wants to see whatever iteration of Pittsburgh this is in the playoffs. Tomlin just looks done.
  5. That’s insane. The Cheezit bowl a few years back with TCU in it was pretty impressive for turnovers. And GP putting in a QB with actual drop foot and calling a QB run play leading the announcers to say, “He doesn’t have use of one of his feet. Why call that?”
  6. Good for J’ville. Would have been the suck if he’d have missed it. They built it up so much.
  7. It’s all so very sad. In addition, he had coronary artery disease, diabetes and COPD. I was reading a few articles since the news came out today and it sounds like in addition to doing the ketamine infusion therapy he most likely was doing it recreationally and when you add in his other health issues plus the hot tub—yikes. "Ketamine is not used outside of the supervision of a medical professional. So, if it was in his system at those doses, because it has a very short half life ... it would have been out of his system within 2 to 3 hours. He was using it recreationally. Unfortunately it was the perfect storm in a hot tub." Ketamine IV infusions are only administered in the doctor's office. They are limited and timed, with most treatments lasting six weeks. WebMD reports the IV infusion lasts about 40 minutes, with the dissociative experience kicking in immediately and lasting for about 15 minutes after the drip ends. https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/losangeles/news/what-is-ketamine/
  8. Oh for fuck’s sake. Guy is just doing what is best for him in the long run. If QE could leave right now to be the number one pick in the draft (he would not be and it’s not even close) he would absolutely leave us. Are you fucking kidding me? QE came into college with a “show me the money” attitude and some of you acting like Maalik is an asshole for moving on. Smdh.
  9. I am just using your post as an excuse to plug Donna Summer. Sorry not sorry. I mean…I will fight all of you in the football forum where I have some leverage.
  10. We should start a “fuck fucked up people doing fucked up things” thread as well. No fucks given. We have to hold police to a higher standard. We should. But the idea that people can police themselves is total bullshit. Watching the latest shooting in Austin happen and also realizing that police are also overwhelmed and having to react to multiple crimes happening at the same time. There is obviously a gun ownership issue that needs to be addressed. I know this and anyone thinking it will not be is absolutely fucked in the head. They get paid to do a job. Perfectly. Never mind the bullshit that they see on the regular in us on an every day basis. They see mostly Walmart people on the regular. It’s not like they see us at our best the vast majorly of their careers. We are starting to see how much the system is overloaded with violent crimes committed by violent POS people on the regular and expecting cops to react and respond in minutes or seconds not knowing if that person has a weapon. It’s bullshit. We should expect more from the police but we should also realize that certain people cannot take ownership of their own shit and should be held accountable. we just keep kicking the can down the road in the hopes that “eventually” with enough money in their pockets, respect and whatever certain people won’t suck at life. But what if we need someone to respond to us if we need help? a lot of the communities so treated poorly by the police want help during an incident of violence. My cousin’s husband is a sheriff. Won’t say what state but recently there was a “hostage/warrant” situation where they had to shoot the “bad guy” because he had stabbed his wife multiple times and she was bleeding out. They had to take him out. Sorry if I can’t cry a river over that fucking waste of space. What if they had just tasered him! What if he’d still be alive today to get out of jail eventually? And I am sure the cops would not ever have to deal with him again. Right? I seriously wonder how many of yall were cheering the shooter killing all those cops (mostly traffic ones that had nothing to do with his outrage) in Dallas. Since right at this moment getting rid of all guns is off the table (right now anyway) how in the fuck do yall expect police to react to each person that resists? Three step drop back? Talk to them if they have a weapon they won’t put down? Make the right call every time? They get paid to do a job. We all agree. Do they get paid so much that they shouldn’t take into account their own safety as well.? They make a lot of mistakes. But apparently we as a society should feel more sympathy for the criminal doing criminal things.they know are criminal. . That is bullshit. that’s a fallacy. It’s okay if a criminal makes mistakes or a series of mistakes. Who cares in a high speed chase of a bullshit warrant if they kill some innocent bystander? The cops should have been chasing them to begin with? Right? They should have just let them go. Onto a life I am sure would amount to jack shit nothing worth anything had they escaped. Forget about any lives that will be lost in that situation. We will just blame someone else if that POS kills someone else down the road and blame the laws and government and guns and not the actual POS for whatever reason that floats your boat. God forbid Not the actual person that committed those crimes be blamed. We will find “excuses” for them. I do t give a fuck if this gets deleted or moved or I get warned but quite honestly the hatred we have for police as a whole is bullshit. They get paid to do a job. that job is very dangerous but we want them to be perfect like an air traffic controller. The “back the blue” no matter what types are just as obnoxious as the feel sorry for the criminal types. Most of us do not commit violent crimes. Most poor people don’t commit violent crimes. I can say throughout working with the homeless and other charities the poorest people I have met are the most principled and striving g to do the best they can. The people who commit violent crimes are “victims” always blaming other people or circumstances for them. And quite frankly their family members defend them to a fault. We want police to be in a volatile situation with basically Walmart people on their best day and expect perfect results. Okeedokee! TLDR: Hold cops accountable. Prosecute them from the federal side. Too difficult of done locally. Do what you can to enforce or create laws to keep guns out of the hands of criminals but stop painting cops with one brush and violent criminals with a different one. Bad cops are the same as criminals in my book. fuck them both. There are good cops out there. Most of us are good people. I do not give two shits about citizens that commit violent crimes. I hope cops that commit murder are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and go to prison.
  11. I wish him all the best. "I hate it, I hate it," Murphy told ESPN. "I'm super invested in this team. Everything that we've done along the way and all the work we've put in together, it's hard to walk away, especially at this point during the season." he knows he is not the future of the team. I am thankful that in the two games we started when QE went out we didn’t lose. He’s a great young man and I wish him well. I don’t know how many portal players will be playing in the postseason for their current team (I know there are a few from what I have read.) I think the best places for him are UCLA, Syracuse or Rice. Rice at least seems to be humming along a lot better than per usual. Good luck Maalik and 🤘🏼🤘🏼
  12. Be funny if Draymond’s punishment was just getting shipped to any one of those teams. It would never happen. Couldn’t figure how the financial aspect of it would work. But it would be hilarious: play or you don’t get paid. Do that shit again and you are done from league and your payments stop there. But I honestly could care less if his career ends now. He’s an asshole. An unrepentant asshole. That would be funny as hell but he shouldn’t be playing anymore. At least I do not see many defending his shit at this point.
  13. For the Georgia game for our out of towners this place looks sweet: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/822439147615951296?adults=2&check_in=2024-10-18&check_out=2024-10-20&source_impression_id=p3_1702515471_Cj5%2BRoV3P2kKviOQ&previous_page_section_name=1000&federated_search_id=374eb0bd-0f0f-4291-b38a-4474e4dcccdf My friend booked it once for a weekend from out of town and loved it.
  14. Yep. I think they said it would be the night game unless we are super shittay or something prior to that.
  15. Our tickets just doubled in price! Season tickets. Gone are the days I can barely get face value for a home matchup when I can’t attend a game. That’s what I am excited about. This is easier to see:
  16. I am happy with it as with the two bye weeks. The back to back of OU and Georgia is brutal but depending on how we and OU fair in the SEC we will welcome a familiar opponent probably in the thick of the schedule
  17. Finebaum loves trolling aggy. Loves bringing up how they acted a fool when we were announced to be entering SEC.
  18. They snuck that in lol. Even though they are going alphabetically. Lol.
  19. Oh the aggy tears when we beat them in their house. We have the toughest schedule I feel like (no homer here on this.) at Michigan, at Aggie, OU rivalry, play Georgia, at Arky…I mean come on. If we don’t get broken in half or fall off a cliff we are going to be in the playoffs with the expansion with that fucking schedule.
  20. Why does Vandy like being a bye week in the SEC? Why not try to get a HC/team? Use that money from SEC. I guess they get hush money or something for a being a cream puff that is essentially a bye week for the other teams and only wish to be baseball school?
  21. GameDay should just follow us around for half the games. Lol.
  22. What a hodgepodge! I mean just take a fucking team and go through a team. Yall have blocked off two hours. Our schedule is a meat grinder!
  23. They need a Texas homer on the panel or something.
  24. No shit. Oh well. Like I said nothing else on. These people have to earn their money somehow and they know we will watch anything right now lol.
  25. There is literally nothing else on. Might as well watch. I’m in too good of a mood since we made the CFP. Everything else is gravy. Can enjoy all the bowl games and have fun watching their “reveal.” I am sure they will save Texas and Bama for last. Start with Vandy. Just kidding.
